Johann Elias Ridinger, A Piece of Game in the Rest with a Fawn and Brocket

Thienemann + Schwarz 196. – Sheet 1 of the STUDY OF THE WILD ANIMALS with the caption of the Hamburg pope of poets, jurist & senator, yet foremost friend of Ridinger’s, Barthold Heinrich Brockes (1680-1747), in German. – Margins 2.5-4 cm wide. – Barely perceptible trace of fold above right still including the just hatched corner of the subject.

PAINTERLY-FINE SHEET

– not by chance already in 1901 Ernst Welisch qualified Ridinger as the indisputably “most important Augsburg landscapist of this time” –

IN MARVELOUS IMPRESSION OF NUANCED CHIAROSCURO

as in such quality rare of old. For even in exemplary old Ridinger collections the old impressions of particularly this so fine large-sized main set often figure only closely trimmed, damaged, and fully mounted.
